Instagram is for more than just posting photos.

When Instagram first rolled onto the scene a few years ago it was all about the user. It was about posting photos of what you were doing and who you were with. It was a way to share memories with your friends and family. Now, the game has completely changed.

While Instagram is still focused on sharing photos with followers, there so much more to it now. Business profiles. Boomerang. Instagram ads. Contests. Giveaways. There are constantly new solutions and ways to connect with your audience. Wishpond did an incredible job summing up some of these creative ways marketers can use Instagram.

The words you choose for any content have a huge impact on your reader. The words can make your piece incredible or they can make your content flop.
